The following will enable you to observe good working
practices, keep yourself and fellow workers safe and
maintain your tools and equipment in good working order.
Mains Powered Tools
• Tools are supplied with an attached 13 Amp plug.
• Inspect the cable and plug to ensure that neither are
damaged. Repair if necessary by a suitably qualified
person.
• Do not use when or where it is liable to get wet.
Workplace
• Do not use 230V a.c. powered tools anywhere
within a site area that is flooded.
• Keep machine clean.
• Leave machine unplugged until work is about to
commence.
• Always disconnect by pulling on the plug body
and not the cable.
•
Carry out a final check e.g. check the cutting tool
is securely tightened in the machine and
the
correct speed and function set.
•
Ensure you are comfortable before you start work,
balanced, not reaching etc.
• Wear appropriate safety clothing, goggles, gloves,
masks etc. Wear ear defenders at all times.
• If you have long hair wear a hair net or helmet to prevent
it being caught up in the rotating parts of the machine.
• Consideration should be given to the removal of rings
and wristwatches.
• Consideration should also be given to non-slip
footwear etc.
• If another person is to use the machine, ensure they are
suitably qualified to use it.
• Do not use the machine if you are tired or distracted.
• Do not use this machine within the designated safety
areas of flammable liquid stores or in areas where there
may be volatile gases.
• Check cutters are correct type and size, are
undamaged and are kept clean and sharp, this will
maintain their operating performance and lessen the
loading on the machine.

happening around you and USE YOUR COMMON SENSE.

The AC82E is a compact, well made chip extractor for use
in a home workshop. The main body can be mounted
either way up, giving a choice of inlet positions on the top
or bottom of the machine. It is powered by a 230V 1.1kW
induction motor, which produces quite a vigorous airflow,
ensuring better than average waste collection
performance.
The base has castors fitted for easy mobility around the
workshop. As standard, 30 micron filter bag is fitted, along with a
plastic waste sack. The filtration can be upgraded with
an optional 1 micron cartridge filter. This has a very large
surface area, so does not impede the airflow.
The inlet size is 100mm, allowing easy connection to many
types of machines using flexible hose. Please do not step
down the hose diameter below 75mm, as the airflow
volume will drastically fall below this diameter.
HAVING UNPACKED YOUR MACHINE, PLEASE DISPOSE OF THE PACKAGING PROPERLY.
